ATTRACT


This lecture will help you understand:

• Electron-Dot Structures• The Formation of Ions• Ionic Bonds• Metallic Bonds• Covalent Bonds• Polar Covalent Bonds• Molecular Polarity• Molecular Attractions


• Atoms bond together through their electrons. To learn about bonding, therefore, we need to know something about how the electrons within an atom are organized.

• Electrons behave as though they are contained within a series of seven concentric shells.

Electron-Dot Structures


The numbers indicate the maximum number of electrons each shell may contain.

Note:

This is a “conceptual model” and not a representation of what an atom “looks like.”


Rather, it helps us to understand how the electrons within atoms behave.


The shells are more easily drawn in two dimensions.

Each atom has its own configuration of electrons. Elements in the same group have similar configurations, which is why they have similar properties.


• Valence electrons: Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the ones that can participate in chemical bonding.

• Electron-dot structure: A notation showing the valence electrons surrounding the atomic symbol.



In class activity 1

• Draw the dot diagram for sodium and chlorine ATOMS


For heavier atoms, some valence electrons are more available than others. Krypton, for example, has 18 valence electrons, but only eight of these are typically shown within an electron-dot structure. These are the eight that extend farthest away from the nucleus.

Special Note

Kr


Note that elements within the same group have the same electron-dot structure.



Sodium, Na, atomic number 11, has only one valence electron. Upon losing this electron, what other atom in the periodic table does the sodium thus resemble?

A. Neon, Ne, atomic number 10B. Magnesium, Mg, atomic number 12C. Lithium, Li, atomic number 3D. Sodium can only resemble sodium.

Explanation:With 10 electrons, the sodium has enough electrons to fill the first and second shells, just like neon, Ne.

A. MgOB. Mg2O2

C. Mg4O4

D. Any of the above

What is the chemical formula for a compound made of magnesium ions, Mg2+, and oxygen ions, O2–?

Explanation:The chemical formula is used to show the ratio by which atoms combine. By convention, the lowest numbers are preferred, so 1:1 is used rather than 2:2. The numeral 1, however, is implied when no subscript is written.

Ionic BondsCHECK YOUR ANSWER


In class activity 4

• Is the change from sodium and chlorine a physical or a chemical change?


In class activity 5

• Write the chemical formula of the ionic compound calcium fluoride


Metallic Bonds

• Outer electrons in metal atoms are held only weakly by the nucleus.

• This weak attraction allows the electrons to move about quite freely.

• This mobility of electrons accounts for many metallic properties.


Metallic Bonds

• An alloy is a mixture of metallic elements.


Covalent Bonds

• The type of electrical attraction in which atoms are held together by their mutual attraction for shared electrons.


• The type of electrical attraction in which atoms are held together by their mutual attraction for shared electrons.

• There are two electrons within a single covalent bond.

• The covalent bond is represented using a straight line.

F — FF F

Covalent Bonds


• The number of covalent bonds an atom can form equals its number of unpaired valence electrons.

Covalent Bonds



Covalent Bonds



Covalent Bonds



• Multiple covalent bonds are possible.

Covalent Bonds


Non-polar Covalent Bonds

• Electrons within a covalent bond are shared evenly when the two atoms are the same.



• They may be shared unevenly, however, when the bonded atoms are different.

Polar Covalent Bonds



• They may be shared unevenly, however, when the bonded atoms are different.

• Electronegativity: The ability of a bonded atom to pull on shared electrons. Greater electronegativity means greater “pulling power.”



• Electronegativity: The ability of a bonded atom to pull on shared electrons. Greater electronegativity means greater “pulling power.”

• Electronegativity: The ability of a bonded atom to pull on shared electrons. Greater electronegativity means greater “pulling power”.



A. Carbon dioxide is heavier.B. Water is heavier.C. They both have the same number of atoms so they weigh the

same.D. It depends.

Which is heavier: carbon dioxide, CO2, or water, H2O?

Explanation:Look to the Periodic Table and add up the masses of the atoms within each of these substances. Carbon dioxide adds up to 44 amu, while water is only 18 amu. So, carbon dioxide is more than twice as heavy. At room temperature, carbon dioxide is a gas because it is nonpolar.

Explanation:The slightly negative end of one water molecule holds onto the slightly positive end of another water molecule. This force of attraction must be overcome before the liquid water can transform into the gaseous phase.

Explanation:This is a relatively weak force of attraction, which explains why not much oxygen dissolves in the water. There is enough, however, to allow fish to live.

Molecular AttractionsA fourth molecular attraction is the

induced dipole-induced dipole, which occurs between nonpolar molecules.



Nonpolar atoms are attracted to each other by these “momentary” dipoles,



The larger the atom, the stronger the “momentary” dipole.



The tiny nonpolar fluorine atoms within Teflon provide very weakattractions, which is why Teflon provides a “non-stick” surface.

Which type of molecular attraction takes the least amount of energy to break apart?

Explanation:The induced dipole-induced dipole attraction is the weakest of these four, but only on a molecule-to-molecule basis.
